I think these gals ROCK!!!

The Dixie Chicks are an American country music all-female trio.
They started their group in 1989 in Dallas, Texas. After years of struggle and some personnel changes, they achieved large-scale country and then pop commercial success starting in the late 1990s, with hit songs such as "Wide Open Spaces", "Cowboy Take Me Away", and "Long Time Gone". They are known for their lively group personae, instrumental virtuosity, and political outspokenness. Criticism of President George W. Bush in 2003 led to considerable controversy and a repudiation from some of their core country audience, the lasting effects of which remain to be seen.
